British patent GB1120799 is in the form of a flexible metal rod Discloses a retractable steering column connected to various elements, The metal rod is spot welded to the column and threaded around a pair of rollers for steering. When the ring column collapses, pull the metal rod around the roller. Doing so will deform the metal rod and delay the collapse of the steering column. It is designed to let you. According to the present invention, the energy transmitted by the steering column when crushed Means for absorbing rugies, said means for mounting the steering column and With associated deformable elements, said mounting means being connected to the steering column Bracket for slidably accommodating a skid member adjacent to the deformable element And the skid member is crushed when the steering column is crushed. Being pressed in the direction that deforms the deformable element that absorbs energy And the deformable element has one deformable wire with an arm surrounding the pin. The wire is not dragged over the pin by the skid member. Retractable steering characterized by being absorbed and thereby absorbing energy A column assembly is provided. Therefore, the means to absorb the collapsing energy is just around the steering column. To the area of the mounting bracket. Deformable wire is in the form of a clip bent around two spaced pins And the skid member is placed between the two pins. Good. Therefore, when the steering column is crushed, the skid member Skip the wire clip that is pressed between the pins and pulled over the pins around the pins. Drag along with the door member. Enclose the outer end of the wire clip in the mounting bracket chamber and Can be prevented from opening. In the alternative, one wire or each surrounds its own pin and is solid at one end. It may be two separate wires that are defined. In this case, the pin moves The braid is secured to the skid member so that the wire is pulled around the pin. Therefore, Even with two spaced pins, each with their own length of wire Good. The member that fixes one end of the wire is attached by itself using shearing means such as shear pins. The shearing means may, for example, receive the initial pulling force on the wire. The shear pin is provided so that the fixing means can be separated next. As in the case of the first embodiment, a portion that prevents the outer end of the wire from opening. Can be confined by wood. In each embodiment, when the wire is pulled around its associated pin, the wire The wire can be arranged so that it deforms as the ear stretches. In the second embodiment, its associated pin can be folded back around twice. Can be. For a better understanding of the invention and to show how it may be implemented, Reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings. In the attached drawings, FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of one embodiment of a retractable steering column assembly, 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of a portion of the steering column assembly shown in FIG. The view shown in the direction of arrow A before being crushed by the steering column, FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 seen in the direction of arrow A after the steering column is crushed. , 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment of the retractable steering column assembly, FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view of the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a schematic side view similar to FIG. 5, but showing a modification thereof. FIG. 8 shows a deformable body that has been bent into its initial shape prior to installation in the embodiment shown in FIG. A typical figure of a wire, FIG. 9 is a load exemplifying the value of energy absorption when the steering column is crushed. It is a graph of elongation. Referring to FIG. 1, the steering column assembly includes a steering rack 1 and a lower side. Fixed mounting point 2, Steering column inner shaft 3, Steering column outer shaft 4, an upper fixed mounting point 6 for the steering wheel 5 and steering column You. In the form illustrated in FIG. 1, the steering column is shown as adjustable. However, the present invention is equally applicable to non-adjustable steering column assemblies. it can. Referring generally to FIGS. 1 to 4, the steering column is Therefore, means to absorb the transmitted energy (crushing occurs in the direction of arrow B) Is a deformable element in the form of a wire clip 7 associated with the upper attachment means 6. It has the element. The mounting means 6 slidably accommodates the skid member 9 in the groove 8A. It is equipped with a mounting bracket. The skid member 9 is connected to the outer shaft 4 and It is attached adjacent to the ear clip 7. As shown in Fig. 2, the wire click before the steering column is crushed. The poop had two U-shaped arms placed around two spaced pins 10. It is generally U-shaped, and the spacing between the two pins 10 is such that the skid member 9 has a groove 8A. It's like being able to pass between the pins. Outside the wire clip 7 The free arm is illustrated at 8B to prevent the arm from opening and therefore the Enclosed in brackets that act as a rack. When the vehicle collides, the steering wheel 5 is moved in the direction of arrow B, and the skid member is moved. 9 is thereby pushed in the same direction to engage clip 7 and skid the clip. Drag with the member 9 so that the arm of the clip has two pins as illustrated in FIG. Is dragged over the steering wheel 10, which is crushed by the steering column when it collapses. It has the effect of absorbing the transmitted energy. The collapse of the steering column is itself caused by the inner shaft in the area of reference numeral 11. Adjusted by the relative collapse between 3 and the outer shaft 4. 5 and 6 show that the wire is held in a single location, at least initially. Another embodiment is shown in which the movement of the pin fixed to the kid member causes the deformation of the wire. I have. More specifically, two wires each drawn around the associated pin 10A. There is 7A. Each pin 10A is fixed to the upper plate 12. A plate 13 having a hooked end 14 is fixed in a mounting block 15, 3 receives one end of wire 7A at 14A, the end of which is riveted or otherwise Is fixed. The plate 13 and the mounting block 15 each have a bolt hole 16 Fixed to the vehicle chassis by respective bolts (not shown) passing through . Each wire 7A is bent around its associated pin 10A so that the wire When pulled around 0A, a metal side plate 17 is used to prevent the wire from opening. Are locked up. Four molded plasties holding plate 13 and mounting block 15 together with upper plate 12 There is a hook pin 18. During the collision of the vehicle, the upper plate 12 and the pin 10A should be separated from the driver in the forward and downward direction Driven, which pulls the wire 7A around the pin 10A to stretch the wire. The loose or free end of each wire is attached to the track formed by the metal side plates 17. Therefore, it is suppressed. The initial pulling force applied to the hooked plate 13 is due to the plastic shear pin 18. As soon as they are received and these shear pins are broken, the hooked plate 13 and the mounting block 1 5 and the energy absorbing wire 7A are separated from the upper plate 12. In the modification illustrated by FIGS. 7 and 8, these wires 7A are Before being fixed to the hooked plate 14, it should be bent twice around the associated pin 10A. It is folded back through the attachment plate 14.
